What do you get one of the richest men in the world for his birthday? Nothing!
A source tells Pvnew exclusively that there was a strict “no gifts,” policy at the over-the-top 60th birthday bash for the Amazon mogul, worth $177 billion according to Forbes, this weekend.
The celebration — which took place at fiancée Lauren Sánchez’s mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif. — drew a star-studded list of guests including Jay Z, Beyoncé, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Ciara, Russell Wilson, Oprah, Gayle King, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kendall Jenner.
Business tycoons Bob Iger, Bill Gates and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell also attended.
We hear the party was put together by Sanchez with the help of top celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss, a source tells Pvnew.
Weiss is known for doing glamorous events like Justin and Hailey Bieber’s wedding, Kris Jenner’s 60th birthday celebration and Khloé Kardashian’s baby shower.
She also put on Ciara and Russell Wilson’s wedding, as well as Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi nuptials and several weddings for ABC’s hit franchise “The Bachelor.”
We hear Sanchez came up with the idea to create a replica of Bezos’ first Amazon office, which he founded out of his Seattle garage, and Weiss helped execute.
The staging even included the actual desk chair from Bezos early days, says the source.
“E.T.” singer Katy Perry, dressed in alien garb to pay tribute to the Blue Origin founder’s fascination with space, performed at the party. She was joined by Usher to belt out “Happy Birthday.”
The Black Eyed Peas also sang in front of guests like Paris Hilton, singer Jewel, and designer Stacey Bendet.
